- ## Dataset Construction & Re-captioning
23
 
24
- Dense-Set was constructed through an automated pipeline carefully designed to emphasize objects traditional vision-language models overlook:
25
- 1. **High-Density Filtering**: Images were processed using a YOLO object detector. We ranked images by total object count and isolated the top 10% to create a high-density candidate pool.
26
- 2. **Rare-Class Isolation**: Within the dense pool, we identified "rare classes" at the image level—defined as object categories appearing exactly once in a given image.
27
- 3. **BLIP-2 Re-captioning**: To shift the textual focus away from general scene context, we filtered out rare-class detections occupying >15% of the image area. We then prompted BLIP-2 with class-aware templates to explicitly describe these small or underrepresented objects, producing highly challenging, fine-grained captions.

24
+ ## Construction
25
 
26
+ Dense-Set was built through a three-stage pipeline designed to surface objects that standard vision-language models overlook:
 
 
 
27
 
28
+ 1. **High-Density Filtering** — Images processed with YOLO, ranked by total object count, top 10% retained as the high-density candidate pool.
29
+ 2. **Rare-Class Isolation** — Within the dense pool, object categories appearing exactly once per image are flagged as rare classes, corresponding to small or visually subordinate objects.
30
+ 3. **Re-captioning** — Rare-class detections occupying >15% of the image are filtered out. BLIP-2 is prompted with class-aware templates to explicitly describe the remaining underrepresented objects, producing fine-grained captions that shift focus away from dominant scene context.
